Without entering upon the personal as pect-of_ this ,subjeo, T, may ,be permitted to notice one gpund of,. objection prominently brought to view in late discuseions, to wit— the supposed influence of this Seminary to retard and cripple ear 'College- , enterprises. lii the Banner of April 9th, "Another Dit4ctor," referring to Carroll, Alexander, and Marengo Colleges in the far :North -Wdstildquires, not tli.sse zlinmble children of the Church '-be "first provided ln the Expositor of March first, Th.. Rice had; before written as , follows " The two Synods of Indiana, are , now Struggling to put its College upon its feet:; and f if we are rightly informed respecting ; its condition, some coneiderable,time and liberal contri butions will be necessary to relieve it." * * "The,Synods of Missouri are .not in a bet. ter condition to; give. Roth' Westminster . and,Ricnmona uoneges, are in ttlefr ;Infan cy,. to aay'rfothing of the young , Institution at. St. 1.40ui5." * * "Years of persever ing toil will be necessary to put them [these Colleges] on a permanent basis:" These writers do' ot overrate3he'valueof our Colleges to the Church; and to the country. The error lies in assuraing ,that a single,Theological ; Senkinaly placed in the midst of these eight or ten Synods„ could not in due time, find -,adequate endowment and {support without crippling the existing In'stitutions' of the - Church. The spprehen- Stott is groundless. In , point "of fact; large centributors to . one, in very many cases, are not the . large 'contributors 'to the other. Diverse considerations Peculiarrtnindividual cironmstancesti.sometimee . lead to, the one: or t)Lwp. other. Past experience of the effect of a .Seminary. upon surrounding Colleges, as against the argument of, these brethren. Educational` Itistituthini Of various grades, act and re ` -cot` favorably upon each other, from the parochial school to the Theological Seminary. Eighty sic of the. students now in 'Allegheny Seminary, reached that place of higher instruction through Jefferson and iWsshington Colleges., And we trace .the various `steps by. which -their hearts were . -set upon the ministry, . and their youthful feet guided to the threshhold of the College, •. we should find that influences from the Seminary, direct, And indirect ( were most , potent in very many eises. Such a School. of. the Prophets, in any portion of the Church, is, of itself, a standing call to the pine and gifted of -dur'youth to enter upon this work"; .With the influence of its Professors and its annual .griduating class -going forth. among:the ehurches, it becomes a fountain Of blessing, in :which Colleges and Academies largely, share. And though for its support, &draft must be made on'the Church's benevolence,. this is returned in blessing` upon all her. kindred Institutions,* as `exhalations from' the iearth'elsurface are again returnad in the 'morning - dew and evening shower. .Happy is it for the °burgh at large, that more comprehensive views governed in the times.of our fathers: Thirty five years ago, Jefferson and - Washington Colleges were truly "in their, infancy," . ill:4 without en dowment. "Years of persevering toil," seemed "necessary to ped,thein on a per il:anent basis." And, yet the brave and, godly men Who guided and blessed the Church in that, region; pleaded no such ex cuse when called, at thatperiod, in the lead ings of Providence, to. found the Seminary at Allegheny withietwenty Idles of these Colleges. Their philosophy of educational institutions as well, as their faith, were of the right stamp / having received an , early - im pulse, it may be; from the entaprise and zeal of thole, noble pioneers of Presbyterian ism in 'the 'West John lgoMillan and others. So, at a'later period• in the Synod of In diana, we find the founding of Hanover , College, and the eStablishment of a Theo logical Seminary by its side, with Dr. Mat thews for its first Professor, the very Sem inary by the way, about whose continuance, on a broader basis, is all this discussion, were co-eval ,events, both, occurring at the same session of Synod, in 1829. Verily the ministers. and elders. of that period arouudNcw Albany and Allegheny, were of a different mind from some who "ONE THING IS NEEDFUL:" "ONE THING HAVE I DESIRED OF THE LORD:" "THIS ONE THING I DO." PUBLICATION OFFICE, GAZETTE BUILDING, FIFTH STREET, ABOVE SMITHFIELD; PITTSBURGH, PA. ti; it • k -\ ° AO * 9 9 . 23 1859 • 9 1859 . write upon this subject in this.our day. Val ueing their Colleges noiless, they feared. not that an Institution for ministerial training would impair their oudoesol, nor did they wait ■s. Dr, Rice proposes, for the full en dowment of their- Professorship, and• -a library worth "fifteen to twenty thousand dol lars at least."* The three bunked preachers of the Gos pel educated by the one Seminary, and the two hundred .by the , other, before either had reached the full end9wment prescribed by Dr. Aloe, and who have gone forth among the churches of the land, form a succession of witnesses for the Wiadom and t6recase of those who bora rule a third 'of a 'oettury ago.

" ' Amongst many omissions, of Aluty one is prominent—a"failure on the part of many Christian parents to talk to their children' on the subject of religion.

Christ said, "O woman, great is thy, faith; be it unto thee as thou wilt." When word comes to us from a heathen city, quite, our antipodes, that the missionary women of four different denominations, assemble week. ly, for prayer, we cannot but expect the work of God to prosper there.

Six have been received into the fellowship of the church, and, besides these,-several appear to give evidence of real conversion, who will be admitted in a few days. Others have left this part of the country for their own homes, and there are some of, whose faith and piety we stand in doubt, whose case is therefore reserved for a future day. In the neighborhood several stations have been established, where the Gospel is regularly preached, and where there are indications of the Divine.blessing. Atone of the places mentioned in a formulate; three miles, distant from this, and named Teen-Ira-salt, seven individuals have 'been baptized, and fire have been received into the church. There- are also five or six more there,4 who are judged suitable for admission. At a town beyond that, Ta-tdang, three individ uals have been baptized, and appear to act in a consistent Manner, while sacral others have been long under instruction, and desire to be also received into Christian fellowship. The same is the 'case at two other places, Lin-ha and Pu- Lung,' where' native 'agents have been laboring for some time, and' Several have applied for baptism.
